Spinning Gold Pinot Noir McDougall Ranch Sonoma Coast 2021

A quick reminder that we still have some incredible single-vineyard Pinot Noir from Spinning Gold. The magic of a Thomas Rivers Brown-trained winemaker, a prime Sonoma Coast site, and one of the most revered vineyard managers in all of California… steal the rest for just $19.95 apiece!

Confidence! Precision! Indulgence! Eight barrels of this were made; we received a fraction of that, and our stash is dwindling. Get to it!

Spinning Gold winemaker–owner Andy Jones was able to negotiate a small amount of fruit from McDougall RanchVineyard, whose harvest dance card is always full. Just 3 miles from the Sonoma Coast, amid towering redwoods at 1,300 feet, this is a powerful site that producers like Dutton–Goldfield and Kutch will charge $80+ a bottle for. Under $20 is a serious value.

2021 was one of the two best Pinot seasons of the last 20 years here, taking a golden site to platinum level. McDougall was planted in 1998 by the legendary Warren Dutton and long managed by the late vineyard genius Ulises Valdez.

In the glass: lashings of purple berries, raspberry turnover, and red roses, with crushed rock, fresh pine needles, and a hint of kola nut. Silky tannins carry a luscious finish of cool-toned huckleberry, hibiscus, and violet candy. Full-bodied, authoritative, romantic, just delicious.

There’s no bottle minimum for that irresistible 64% off, but grab at least six to enjoy included ground shipping.
